Solid backpacker joint in the old city.
Pros:

Great location and extremely helpful and pleasant staff.

Cons:

The room was very basic and rather dated, which is fine but the photos suggested they were a bit better. This was maybe my fault for only booking a fan room. Would absolutely encourage one of the upstairs AC rooms.

Preis-Leistung passt!
Pros:

Das Bett war bequem und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend! Wir konnten unkompliziert eine Nacht verlängern und unser Gepäck nach Checkout noch bis zum Abend unterstellen.

Cons:

Das Bad ist etwas müffelig.

Pros:

I loved my stay here, I ended up staying for a few weeks. The rooms are super comfortable and clean, and the location is amazing. The best thing though was the people who work there - particularly the woman working at reception, she was always warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home 🙏

Pros:

Sobre todo la zona común, que ayudaba mucho a hablar con otros viajeros y además ofrecían café y té gratis. También nos gustó mucho la cama enorme.

Cons:

Salía muy poca agua de la manguera de la ducha del baño y la habitación podría estar más limpia en general, pero concretamente las sábanas.

Pros:

ประทับใจพนักงานต้อนรับเพราะว่ามีแนะนำดีแล้วก็ห้องพักอยู่ในย่านคูเมืองใกล้กับสถานที่ต่างๆสามารถเดินไปได้และข้างๆที่พักมีลานนา square สะดวกต่อการซื้ออาหารรับประทานถ้าไม่อยากไปไหนไกลแต่ราคาจะสูงนิดนึงเนื่องจากเป็นแหล่งที่พักของนักท่องเที่ยว

Cons:

ห้องที่พัก ในห้องน้ำมีน้ำรั่วจากห้องด้านบน
